let's start with romney. >> look, romney changed the race. in a fundamental way in the first debate. you have to go back to the carter-reagan debate in '80 and maybe the nixon-kennedy debate in 1960 for a debate that had a bigger reresh verb ration during the race. he has to make himself a viable alternative for voters who are somewhat dissatisfied with obama but had not previously seen romney as someone who cared about or understood their lives. he made enormous progress on that front and above all convincing people that he has a plan to make their lives better. >> on the subject of has a plan, you just wrote in the national journal about this. you said, what president obama needs to do is make the case that he has a plan. >> there are two separate memos that came out yesterday from senior democratic strategists. they both faced on focus groups after the first debate and both said the biggest -- obama had many problems at that first debate but the biggest one was he conveyed no passion, energy or mission about having a plan to make people's

romney, the public didn't going to like that. and i don't think they're going to risk turning off that audience. >> let me ask you a question about what candy crowley said last night on anderson. she was talking specifically about the ability of the person who's moderating the debate to, to push or follow up. listen. >> well, after the question is answered, there is this time that there will be a, quote facilitated discussion. you know, follow-up questions where you go, i didn't totally understand that. do you mean this or that? or you know, whatever it happens to be. so you know, what you want to do is flesh things out as much as you can, without staying on the same question for 40 minutes, because, you know, nobody wants that. not the presidential candidates, and certainly not the town hall folks, nor do i think the viewers. >> moderator's job, of course, is to keep things from veering completely off the rail. does that hard, i mean having done this in a town hall format, is that, is that extra difficult in this kind of format?
